This final report describes the objectives, activities and outcomes of a federally funded project designed to develop a model for fostering emerging literacy and language skills in young children with disabilities. The model promotes the belief that literacy is one of the primary avenues by which an individual gains access to full community participation and attainment of personal potential. The foundation for the model builds partnerships between families, schools, and community members through which children and families receive developmentally appropriate language and early literacy services that are family centered as well as individually and culturally sensitive. Additionally, the model provides teaching and staff support with the knowledge and assistance necessary to implement these comprehensive services. The model was developed over the first 3 years of the project at 2 demonstration sites, both of which serve children 3 to 5 years of age who have identified disabilities, children who are risk, and children who are typically developing in inclusive settings. The remaining years of the project included replicating the model in additional settings, developing materials, and evaluating the impact of the project on children's learning. Appended are: (1)CO-TEACH Case Studies and Cherry Valley Reports; (2) Presentation Information; (3) MELP Brochure, MELP Website, Reports and Newsletters describing MELP, and Articles related to MELP; and (4) MELP Child Impact Study, NAEYC Documentation, and MELP Conference Information. Also included are: MELP Manual; The Very Hungary Caterpillar Literacy Booklet; "Promoting the Gift of Literacy"; and "Building Early Literacy and Language Skills." (Author/SG)
